Strawberry Ranch Water

A simple refreshing cocktail like Ranch Water is a summer no-brainer, but when infused with seasonal strawberries, the drink is irresistible. It also couldn’t be easier to make the berry-infused spirit, as all it requires is a bottle of blanco tequila, a quart of strawberries, and a little time.

Your patience pays off too, as the strawberry-flavored spirit can be used in many other tequila cocktails, from margaritas to tequila sunrises.

When it comes to ranch water, no matter the flavor, there are a few pro-tips to keep in mind. One tip is that not all mineral water is made the same. We’re partial to Topo Chico, and the ‘twist of lime’ flavor is a great way to add an extra citrus tang to this cocktail.

Speaking of citrus, use fresh lime juice in this drink. When a cocktail has so few ingredients, it’s extra important that each component has as much flavor as possible, and you just won’t get as bright a flavor from bottled lime juice.
